5-string fretless Orion and F-1X (The Bass Shop Seattle)

Someone cleaning the attic? I have no idea whether these are actually from the same person, but when they both show up at the same time at quite reasonable prices....

Just pulled the trigger on the F-1X.

Thanks for the heads up!

Ack! It sold off of reverb before they could update their regular website.

Maybe next one will be mine.

Got some color on that Orion.

It was owned by the same person who owned the F-1X, and were bought from Bass Northwest through the person who runs The Bass Shop.

Neck is unlined but has side dots, is strung with flats, and apparently is very resonant with lots of mwah.
